The study employed descriptive research design with a target population of 111 employees and sample population of 58 respondents was selected using simple random sampling method. Semi-structured questionnaires were employed to collect primary data. SPSS descriptive statistics analysed quantitative data (version 24). Descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation were carried out. Further inferential statistics specifically multiple regression analysis was conducted. Data was presented using tables. Ethical considerations such as confidentiality, anonymity and privacy were observed. The findings suggest that East Africa Portland Cement PLC in Kenya has effectively integrated various electronic and web-based technologies in its operations, leading to positive perceptions from respondents across different sections. The use of e-payments, e-tendering, e-ordering and e-sourcing has contributed to improved supply chain processes, enhanced vendor relationships, and increased efficiency in operations. The study recommends for promotion of digital payment adoption, enhancement of e-tendering platforms, investment in e-ordering and inventory management, facilitation of e-sourcing and vendor collaboration, improving the internet infrastructure and provision of training and workshops to enhance their digital literacy and understanding of e-commerce and supply chain technologies.
